Chapter 87 The Secret of Longevity
On the outskirts of Yangzhou city, in a small courtyard, there is a simple wooden house, it is difficult for anyone to see that this wooden house is actually the residence of Shilong, the number one master in Yangzhou, "Mountain Pusher".

Shi Long was sitting in the room at this time, on a table in front of him were dozens of bamboo slips and a book woven with black gold threads, he sometimes read books, sometimes flipped through the bamboo slips, his brows were furrowed, his face The color of confusion is very heavy.

He has been facing this book day and night for more than two years, but he still has nothing, just like a treasure in front of him, but there is no key to open the door.

Just as he was obsessed with thinking, suddenly a gust of wind blew, Shi Long didn't notice it, and then reacted abruptly, he closed all the doors and windows, where did the wind come from?
Shi Long was startled, he raised his head and looked towards the door, only to see that the door had been opened at some time, and a figure stood there with his hands behind his back, his clothes in moon blue were blown violently by the wind.

Seeing that figure, Shi Long's pupils shrank, and immediately swung his sleeves, sweeping towards the bamboo slips on several tables, and at the same time opened his cuffs, he was going to put the golden silk scroll inside.

The person who came here was extremely skilled in martial arts, he was the strongest person he had ever seen in the world, and he had no chance of winning if he fought head-on. A trap door was left in the back wall.

The bamboo slips on the table flew up, and should have disintegrated under the violent true energy, and every bamboo slice turned into a sharp hidden weapon, but the person who came just pressed forward with his empty hand, as if time and space were frozen, and all the bamboo slips were destroyed Freezing, wrapping Shilong himself, his right hand stretched out, and the cuff was closing the golden silk scroll in half.

"Although the bamboo slips are valuable, the knowledge in the bamboo slips is priceless. Wouldn't it be a pity if dozens of classics were destroyed like this? You people never know the value of knowledge. As far as you are concerned, it can be easily obtained!"

The visitor sighed, and under Shi Long's puzzled gaze, he took down the scrolls of bamboo slips, arranged them carefully, and put them back on top of the tables.

After finishing all this, the visitor took out the gold silk book in Shilong's right sleeve, read it carefully, and unlocked the acupuncture points on Shilong's body.

Unlocking the acupoints, Shi Long was startled. Although he had seen the martial arts before, he was still amazed by the experience. Nor is this person's opponent...

Although he was amazed by the high martial arts of the visitor, Shi Long was not afraid at all, and asked: "Your Excellency came here to obtain the Longevity Secret? With Your Excellency's martial arts, do you want this Longevity Secret?"

Xu Qian glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You people, do you think that you must practice after reading the secret books of magic skills? Can't you learn the principles and watch the wisdom of the sages of the past?"

"Don't worry, I'm interested in the formula of longevity, but I'm not interested in taking it away. As compensation for reading the book, I can tell you some clues about the formula of longevity!"

These words aroused Shi Long's interest, and he asked curiously: "What clue?" He has studied the formula of longevity for more than two years, but he didn't find any clue, so this person actually knows?

The Book of Longevity comes from Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It is written in oracle bone inscriptions.

There are 3000 glyphs in the whole book, but only more than [-] glyphs have been deciphered. The book is also densely covered with annotations by those who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text.

There are seven human figures in the book, none of them are facing each other, and they are guided by various symbols such as red dots and arrows, which seem to describe a certain method of cultivation. Reluctantly relying on one of the symbols to stimulate the inner qi, the qi and blood will immediately churn, and then it will become mad, which is extremely dangerous.

Xu Qian flipped through the longevity formula, and replied: "The first clue, the reason why you can't practice the longevity formula successfully, is because you already have internal strength."

Shi Long was taken aback after hearing this, and frowned: "Your Excellency, you mean that you need to know martial arts and have no internal strength to practice the formula of longevity?"

"Not necessarily. For example, someone like me who knows martial arts and has internal strength in his body may not be unable to practice if he wants to practice, but you...you should practice honestly."

This person is too crazy!
Shi Long sighed in his heart, but when he thought of this man's marvelous martial arts skills, he felt that this man really had the capital of madness.

Xu Qian said again: "The second clue, these seven pictures are all correct, but because everyone's physique is different, basically we can only choose one picture to practice. Guangchengzi left these seven pictures, it should be the right one. Take into account the physical differences between different people."

"I guess that each picture points directly to the broken void, that is to say, each picture is a broken-level mind method, but I don't think this is the limit of the longevity formula. Its limit should be when the practice reaches a certain level. , and the seven maps were repaired together, and finally the seven maps were merged into one, reaching a higher level of Broken Realm."

Shi Long was stunned. Although what Xu Qian said was "guess", he felt that the guess was quite possible.

Guang Chengzi wrote the formula of longevity and left the broken method for the world. Every kind of people can find a suitable one among the seven pictures. As long as the cultivation reaches the limit, the void can be broken.

But cultivating only one picture only cultivates a certain characteristic of the human body to the extreme, and it is not comprehensive. Only by combining the other six pictures and seven pictures together can it be the most comprehensive and complete.

The first is "different from person to person, teach students in accordance with their aptitude", and then "different paths lead to the same goal, and all methods are unified", which is exactly the principle of Taoism.

Ignoring Shi Long who was thinking, Xu Qian said again: "The third clue, the annotations left by the predecessors and sages on these seven pictures are basically correct. Some annotations seem to conflict, but in fact they are just one. Two sides of the same coin."

Speaking of which, the annotations left by the sages who have read the formula of longevity are also a rather precious treasure. When they read the formula of longevity, they left behind all these kinds of notes based on their own knowledge, wisdom, and thoughts. Annotations, which contain the wisdom of their thoughts.

It's just a pity that for so many years, those who have obtained the formula of longevity seldom pay attention to these annotations. They care too much about the oracle bone inscriptions and the seven pictures of the formula of longevity. Annotation, maybe you will get something instead.

Shi Long said: "Since they are basically correct, why didn't those senior sages practice the formula of longevity?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Shi Long realized that he asked such a stupid question.

Didn't this person just say that to practice the formula of longevity, you need to know martial arts and have no internal strength?

Those elders and sages should have been famous for a long time when they obtained the formula of longevity.

What's more, those elders and sages are afraid that each of them is full of enthusiasm, thinking that they are extremely talented, even if they don't practice the longevity formula, they can reach a higher level with their own talents.

What Guangchengzi can do, can't I do it?
Xu Qian had finished reading the Jue of Longevity, and put it back to a few cases. What he needed was the content of the Jue of Longevity, not this book woven with black gold threads. Seeing Xu Qian put down the Jue of Longevity, Shi Long felt at ease. Quite a few, secretly said: "It seems that this person will not kill him to take the book!" '

Putting down the book, Xu Qian said: "For my three clues, the content of the formula of longevity is not enough."

Hearing this, Shi Long's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Then according to Your Excellency...?"

Xu Qian said: "Don't be nervous, I won't kill you, just look at your collection of books."

In order to comprehend the formula of longevity, Shi Long collected many books, most of them are Taoist classics, some classics were not even collected by the Sui Dynasty.

Hearing that Xu Qian just wanted to see his collection of books, Shi Long readily agreed that this person had told him all the important clues about the Secret of Longevity, which was much more valuable than his collection of books, which countless people have wanted for thousands of years. Follow the clues you get!
Shi Long thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Your Excellency's words are very true. If you can get into your eyes, all the books in Shi's collection can be read by you. In other words, Shi has taken advantage of it!"

Xu Qian shook his head and said: "Whether it is cheap or not does not depend on whether each of you gets more or less, but whether both parties think it is worth it. If it is not worth it, you will exchange thousands of dollars, and you will not feel that you have taken advantage. If it is worth it Even if you don't have a penny, you will be happy."
